Howard Gardner will be giving a talk at NYU on Oct. 30th. The talk is free and open to the public, but you need to submit an RSVP.
In this inaugural lecture, Howard Gardner will describe the evolution of his
work over the last few decades. As a developmental and cognitive
Psychologist with expertise in neuropsychology, Howard developed the theory
of Multiple Intelligences in the early 1980s. The interest shown by educators
in this work stimulated him to become involved in educational reform in the
United States and Abroad.
In more recent work, Howard has addressed issues of policy-effecting a
transition in his scholarship from "how things are" to "How Things Ought to
Be." He will describe the five kinds of minds-disciplined, synthesizing,
creating, respectful, and ethical-that need to be cultivated in the future.
The event is free and open to the public.
